Vocaloid Original Song – Ehon “Hitobashira Alice”

Original NicoNico video here.

“In a land far, far away, there existed a little dream.
It’s unknown who dreamed it, but it was a little dream.
The little dream thought.
‘I don’t want to vanish like this.
How can I get people to dream me?’
The little dream pondered and pondered, and finally struck upon an idea.
That it should make humans lost within itself, and make them create the world.”

with a sword in one hand, to Wonderland.
She cut down various beings,
and went paving a deep red road.

On a sleepy morning that I keep waking up to
I pull my necktie tight
And when I pass through my classroom door, I can start walking with my chest puffed out just a little
The wind blows through such ordinary days

Now in my chest that started to tremble
I realized it was coming already
I saw off
The millions of stars that were disappearing
I waved my hand
Saying, “Good for you”

So that I can even love and laugh at loneliness, I’ll fight
I won’t show my tears
